Flirt

 I can pretend
 to be unmoved
when you smile.
  Flash my lashes
     act as if
my pulse
   doesn't race
my blood
   doesn't pound.
look away,
    dignified.
 Unaffected.
    I can feign
        I am
     unaware
of your touch,
    ignore
the tingle
        the heat
left upon my skin
 by the slightest
      brush
of your hand.
 I can make believe
    with the best
    my heart
 doesn't break
     just a little
 each time
     you
walk away.
 And I can
    pretend 
        you
are unaware
   of my every
    pretense
and wait
     hope
  you call
      my bluff
